That coupled with the fact that we can rotate the truck using throttle helps a lot to.
At OCRC, being a hard pack high bite clay indoor with misters, the Tekno SCT410 does a lot better when you enter into the turn a little slow, then power through the turn. Often doing drifts around them. At least this is how the fastest guys run it (both Tekno trucks). I'm slowly learning, it's not as easy to learn power driving around a tack than it is to learn to be smooth. Power driving when learning yields more crashes. The body is sure taking a beating as I learn, but I have yet to snap anything, knock on wood, yet...
I'm going to be moving to the Fioroni Pistions as well and will be trying out SRAMOS' setup, with the exception of one stop softer springs all around and using AE oils close to the Losi oils he is using this chart:

However I'd love to hear from other people running the Fioroni pistons!!!!!
Put them in mine for race Saturday with SRAMOS setup except I used AE 35/30 and yellow in front since I didn't have orange spring. Ended up going to orange spring in rear and 27.5 AE because 30W and red seemed a little stiff. Flys more straight and level than ever before but seems to be more loose rear in turns so I need to figure that out. Especially sweeper and off throttle in mid-corners. I did go from 2.2 to 2.4 up front sway bar with some improvement. I think the track was a little looser than normal too though.
